indeed, in any part of the state "
there are favorable conditions for irTy
ton, by taking out canals which will
swer tWoiOld purpose, furnishing We
to the stock on the upper
while it also furnishes water for the Vi
citation on the lower side. We kn
from undenia5le authority that evd
person in that country, be ne stockman
the tlller of the soil, desires this mud
needed legislation. Experiments witt
river water on irrigated gardens near
PecoS City last yesr furnish undoubted
| proof of the fertility of the soil and pracl
tlcsoility of irrigation. The question isl
! Will the Legislature assist those peOpli
{ to adopt system OF farming which hal
/ proved so beneficial, not only to thl
/ people, but to the states as We&
| OF California and Colorado, -
will it refuse to assist the people
! as sist the school fund because the il
! ton company may make some money
| the operation? The projectors of
enterprise are not able wiyhin themSe
TO furnish sufficient means, we und
stand, TO take out this canal Il is
mated TO cost something near $3.50,
This sum csn be raised in California; 81
New York with this land as basis for the
loan. The high standing of the gentle
men composing the irrigation COM
pany, most of whom we know,
for integrity and push, is an
evidence that the plans proposed
will be carried out. The LegislatureI
should compel the company, if tne sale of
the land is made, 10 ALLEVIATE it TO indi-
yiduals within given reasonable time,
and should project the future consumers
OF the water from eXOrbitant prices on the
same. We predict, If the bill passes, that
every member who votes for it VIII
proud of his record when he sees
Transformation that VIII occur in
Pecos valley. -

THE GEOLOGICAL BILL. =,
The spirit Of ridiCule exhibited M
OF the members of the House WAY
during the discussion on the gtcaI
bill, has been the subject of mpm-
ment by Senators, members an6Ors
to the capitol. But few comnhis
method of opposition to q worsess- &
ure, and express themselves asking ID
that the bill should have at laom-
handed q respectful consideration
its opponents, if for no Cthaasoh
than to show our appuoh
of the offer of the general Convent:
One gentleman said ''that il WGs q -
tionabls whether any good came from
bates where legislators appealed to =
prejudiCeS and passions of men and not
10 their reason" He was not prepared
to say that this method of debate was re-
sorted to for the purpose of gratifyi
the personal feelings and ambitions
the opponents of the bill, but it was Ct -
tainly not calculated TO impress the fris
OF the bill that it was defeated upO
merits. One thing is evident, that o. +
the debate on this geological bill
grown a spirit of enmity between
viduals.
